It's been a long time since she'd had the same dream she had had, and tonight she woke up again in the company of a voice.

Her heart was pounding and her thoughts were wandering, so she sat up slowly, hugged the quilt, and curled up in the dimly lit corner, her figure not moving.

Tomorrow is the day of the wedding.

The emperor married his daughter, although the matter came suddenly, and the preparation time was short, but there were ceremonies such as the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Temple, and the ceremony of asking for the invitation of Najib was busy and orderly. Three days ago, the dowry used as a shop was also sent to the Yongning Horse Mansion where the princess would live after marriage. It is said that the dowry was selected by the emperor himself in the Inner Palace. The peacock blue jade night pearl dedicated to the Western Regions and Haixi Kingdom, the 10,000-pearl curtain made of 10,000 pearls paid tribute by the southern Zhenla country, a curtain of gold and emerald hooves that are more than ten zhang long in winter, the 12-branch lamppost with gold as the platform and the column as the pillar that is higher than the human top, a tortoiseshell coral fragrant wood bed that paves a new house for the princess and the concubine, and a hundred mandarin duck quilts woven and embroidered with gold leaf and silk thread...... All are treasures of treasures. On the day the dowry was delivered, the cars were connected from end to end, stretching for miles. When the first car was about to arrive in front of the gate of Yongningfang, where the Pei family's horse mansion was located, the tail car was still walking on the street near the Xing'an Gate of the Imperial Palace, attracting people from half of the city to watch.

The makeup is like this, and when the wedding is welcomed, you can imagine how grand the scene will be.

When countless people outside were discussing and busy about this marriage, the days of Suyu were unusually peaceful.

After Cangshan returned to the palace, in addition to following up on the murals of the Shenshu Palace every day, in addition to accompanying the emperor for the rest of the time, she was alone and painting, and never went out for a single step.

She doesn't feel like she will have too many mood swings. And so it is.

These days, she doesn't have a lot of joy about the wedding she planned for herself, but she doesn't feel any sadness or regret.

However, tonight, in the old dream came unexpectedly again, and woke up in the sound of A-Niang's advice in the dream, the moonlight that should have filled the window was too cold, and it seemed that the newly moved dormitory was too lonely, and she still felt uneasy for a long time. And, suddenly, I missed my grandfather very much.

The man who will become her husband tomorrow is the husband of Ah Gong.

She finally got married to him as Ah Gong wished.

If Ah Gong knew, he would be very happy, right?

Su Yu remembered the scene when Ah Gong talked to her about the marriage contract that day, and he praised the son and son of the Pei family. The corners of her lips couldn't help but hook up in the night. Then, before he could react, his eyes suddenly became sour.

She finally couldn't hold herself, and her eyes were a little blurry.

She didn't like that. lifted the quilt and got out of the house, lit the lamp and put on his clothes. Yang Zaien, who was on duty for the princess on the last night before the wedding, led people to follow the princess with palace lanterns, silently passing through the palaces and corridors, and finally found that he came to the ruins of the Yong'an Palace, which was regarded as a forbidden place in the palace.

Yang Zaien watched the princess walk alone through the wasteland in front of the palace overgrown with autumn grass, climb the white jade stump that crawled all over the place where there was almost no foothold, passed through several carved dragon pillars that could only be encircled by several people, and finally, stopped in front of a broken wall in the deepest part.

It is on this blackened and mottled wall that many years ago, there was a glorious mural that moved the world. At one time, this palace and that peerless famous painting were regarded as the pinnacle of the glory of the Holy Dynasty.

However, the fire of the rebels burned this great palace, along with its grace and glory.

He didn't understand why the princess suddenly came here on the eve of the wedding, suppressed the many surprises and doubts in his heart, waited silently outside the ruined hall, looked at it from a distance, and saw her stop under the moon, facing the remnant wall that was now less than half of the original, and looked up slightly, as if she was in a trance.

Beneath the remnants of the walls, there are countless boulders that collapsed on the walls and roofs of the palace. The tall weeds stubbornly emerged from the cracks in the rocks, swaying in the night breeze and making a rustling sound.

Su Yu stood for a long time, touched a mottled remnant wall with his fingertips, and prayed silently in his heart, so that Ah Gong would know that she was about to marry the young man in his picture.

I hope that God will bless her and let her see her grandfather again as soon as possible. No matter how long it has been, under what circumstances, she will always be Ah Gong's Su Yu, the little girl who got a new name in the rainy day and was taken out of Chang'an by him.

When Su Yu came back, her originally depressed mood finally dissipated, and she deliberately passed by the vicinity of Ziyun Palace, and saw that there were still lights inside, so she stopped.

After Cangshan returned, the closer he got to the wedding, the more silent Aya became. In the past few days, except for a few summons of his subordinates, the rest of the time, he has hardly shown up, and it is difficult to even meet Su Yu.

When she went in the evening, she found that he had shut himself up again in the ashram, and the door of the temple was closed. She wanted to knock on the door and enter, but she heard Zhao Zhongfang say that His Majesty didn't sleep well last night, and this day she was busy discussing with the officiant Ning Wang and others, so she lay down to make up for sleep, telling her to rest assured that she would go back and have a good rest, prepare for tomorrow's wedding, and she would take care of His Majesty's diet, medicine, daily life and other things.

Suyu turned to the Purple Cloud Palace and came to the Jingshe again, the lights inside were bright, but the Aya people were not there. At first she thought he had gone to the West Temple. In the past, I didn't see anyone, but I heard from the palace supervisor that His Majesty did come here after dark, sat alone in front of the mural of the Queen Mother of the West for a long time, and then went out accompanied by Zhao Zhongfang.

Su Yu was very surprised, and asked Yang Zaien to inquire. He soon came back and said that the palace guards saw His Majesty leaving the palace from the gate, and the time was the end of the hour. As for where it went, it is not known.

The uterine leak has passed three o'clock.

Aya had left the palace late at night, unusually, and after so much time, he hadn't returned.

Where the hell did he go?

Her first reaction was the old Dingwang Mansion, and now the hairpin stargazing. But he soon dismissed the idea. Jiacheng Road is in the east of the city, and the hairpin star view is not in this direction.

She groaned, and then thought of Aye's abnormality in the past few days, she really couldn't let go, and told Yang Zaien to prepare the car immediately and go out along Jiacheng Road to have a look. Yang Zai'en should be yes, Su Yu also hurried out, when he was about to reach the gate of Ziyun Palace, far away, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from the silent palace road in the middle of the night, raised his eyes, and saw that several palace eunuchs were carrying a chariot and followed by another chariot.

The palace lamp reflects the people in the chariot, it is the emperor and Zhao Bandang, who received exceptional gifts due to inconvenience in his legs and feet.

The poop stopped in front of the palace gate. Zhao Zhongfang came to the emperor's side and helped him down with the rest of the chamberlain. The emperor walked slowly towards the palace gate, Zhao Zhongfang was beside him, and the chamberlain behind him carried a few baskets filled with some things, and the group followed the emperor silently.

Su Yu's heart was relieved, and he walked out of the palace gate quickly, lifted his skirt and ran down the palace steps, and greeted him.

"Aye!" She screamed.

The emperor's eyelids were drooping, the corners of his eyes were red, and his expression looked gloomy and trance-like, but when he suddenly heard her voice, he raised his eyes, paused his steps, and immediately smiled.

"Sister-in-law! It's so late, why haven't you rested, and you're still here? The Emperor asked with a smile.

Su Yu came to his side, helped him up the palace steps, walked into the palace gate, and went inside.

"I just woke up and couldn't sleep, so I came to see Aye, only to know that Aye, you went out of the palace on the city road? It's so late, Aye, why don't you rest, where did you go in the middle of the night? ”

Su Yu accompanied the emperor into the house, took off his coat for him, sat down and said.

"Aya can't sleep either, seeing that the moonlight is fine tonight, I will ask you Zhao Bandang to accompany Aya out of the palace and turn around at will."

This is obviously used to prevaricate yourself. What's more, Su Yu had just seen the things in the baskets carried by the attendants, which were sacrificial objects such as incense burners and incense.

"I saw what Aya was carrying. Did Aya go to the east of the city to worship? Su Yu dipped the face towel into a basin of warm water given by the palace people, wringed it out and handed it to the emperor to wipe the face, and said.

Emperor sacrifices, in addition to heaven and earth, Sheji, Zongmiao, the rest of the spring equinox and winter solstice and other sacrifices, also have their own fixed locations and rituals. Like this tonight, Weifu goes out of the city in private late at night, like a private sacrifice in an ordinary person's home, which is really abnormal.

The emperor seemed unwilling to answer, took the hot towel and wiped his face, then avoided Su Yu's gaze and coughed as if to hide it.

At this time, Zhao Zhongfang also walked up with a bowl of medicine that had been warmed on the small stove before, and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." ”

The emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately took it.

"Princess, Your Majesty heard that there is a fairy in the eastern suburbs, who specializes in marriage, so he went out of the city to sacrifice, and prayed that the fairy would protect the princess's marriage, and everything will go well in the future. Zhao Zhongfang explained.

Is there any fairy temple in the eastern suburbs that can alarm the emperor?

Suyu looked at Aya. He had finished drinking the medicine, put down the bowl, and nodded with a smile: "Yes." Tomorrow you will be married. As soon as Aya thought about something, he couldn't sleep, so he simply went out of the city to worship. She'll protect you! ”

Su Yu also knew in her heart that the emperor was so abnormal these days, it must be related to marriage. Thinking that he was not in good health and sleepless late at night, he deliberately went out of the city to pray for himself, and he was a little moved in his heart, sat down next to the emperor, and said, "Aye, don't worry!" I'm going to be fine! ”

The emperor stared at her for a long time, and finally slowly bowed his head: "Aya knows! Aya is also relieved! ”

"It's not early, I'm going to be a bride tomorrow, there will be a lot of things, you go back to bed."

"Good. Aye, you also rest. ”

Su Yu got up, told Zhao Zhongfang not to send himself, take care of the emperor to rest, and then walked outside.

"Sister-in-law!"

Suddenly, she heard the emperor call out to herself behind her, and she stopped and turned her head.

The emperor looked at her, his eyes seemed to be slightly red: "Sister-in-law, if the son of the Pei family dares to bully you and treat you badly, you must tell Aya!" Aya peeled off his skin! ”

Su Yu couldn't hold back any longer and ran back to the emperor.

"Aye!" She screamed, her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into the emperor's arms.

The emperor stroked his daughter's hair, then laughed again, and drove her away with his hand: "Okay, okay, go!" Aya is going to rest. ”

For the remaining hours of the second half of the night, Suyu unexpectedly got a good night's sleep.

She slept deeply. When I woke up to the faint morning drum sound that was gradually familiar, it was the eighth day of the first month.

The day of the big wedding is coming.

It was a good day, and the sky was clear. In order to celebrate the princess's wedding, Chang'an also lifted the curfew. The whole city is full of joy, and everyone talks about weddings. On both sides of the street from the palace to the palace of the concubine Yongning, someone began to occupy the seat early, lest they be too late to crowd in the back and not see the princess's wedding car.

Pei Xiaoyuan's parents are both deceased, and before and after the wedding, everything involving the elders is replaced by his uncle Cui Daohei.

In the afternoon, in the new house of Yongning Mansion, Pei Xiaoyuan finished changing clothes with the help of He's family. He looked at Pei Langjun through a dressing mirror with a peony lotus inlaid with turquoise, which was also the princess's dowry.

In the mirror, he was wearing a new scarlet brocade official uniform, a gold and jade belt around his waist, and a pair of moire black leather boots. The groom's clothes made him more and more handsome and outstanding. However, who could have known that there was still a wound belt wrapped around the left back shoulder under his official uniform.

The princess can hide it, but when it comes to things such as changing clothes and dressings, it is not enough to have a green head, so the He family also knows about it.

He's gaze shifted from the dressing mirror to Lang Jun.

Last night, in order to detoxify, Na Langzhong scraped the wound again with a knife, deep into the shoulder bone, and then rinsed it with strong wine, and then bandaged it with medicine. Pei Xiaoyuan's face was like gold paper at that time, but he didn't say a word. Later, he didn't close his eyes all night. When he first got up this morning, his face was dark and his eyes were bloodshot. Although it looks different at this moment, the person seems to be in good spirits, as if nothing has happened, but if you look closely, you can still see that his face is pale, his eyebrows are becoming darker, and his eyes are also bright with a bit of abnormal sickness.

She couldn't suppress the worry in her heart, hesitated, and said again: "Lang Jun, your injury is obviously about to be taken by moving your arm, don't say anything else today, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." The princess, let her know earlier! With her to take care of you, Lang Jun, you can be more relaxed today. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan smiled: "This injury is really nothing to me." What's more, it's just to welcome relatives, not to fight. ”

"But Princess, you can't hide it tonight. Why don't you let her know earlier? He really couldn't figure out why he was so stubborn.

Pei Xiaoyuan paused: "I have my own way tonight." He muttered. It happened that Qingtou rushed in, saying that the time had come, and Uncle Cui was urging.

"Eminem don't have to worry. I'll go first! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan smiled at the He clan and walked away.

Cui Daoji was talking to Yang Jae-eun, who had come to pick up people from the palace, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites in the front hall. Suddenly seeing Pei Xiaoyuan appear, everyone felt that their eyes lit up, looked at him, and all nodded secretly.

"The princess has finished her makeup. Please Pei Langjun will enter the palace to welcome his relatives. Yang Zaien saluted Pei Xiaoyuan and said with a smile.

Pei Xiaoyuan endured the pain of hurting his shoulder when he raised his arm, and returned the salute to everyone as if nothing happened, and then went out of the gate, got on the horse and went to the palace.

Chapter 95

Cheng Ping, Fan Yiguang and other guards who play on weekdays, as well as Lu Wenzhong of the eldest princess's mansion, and the peers from the Cui family, dozens of people, all of them are angry horses and fresh clothes today, and they have long been waiting outside the gate of Yongning Fang, and they saw Pei Xiaoyuan riding out from a distance, Chengping took the lead in urging the horse to catch up, looked at him, smiled and habitually punched him as a chest hammer.

"What a collet, the whole Chang'an will count you as the most romantic today! Yesterday I even told you to run away, but I got myself drunk, and I woke up this morning, and I almost couldn't cheer you on in time for a headache! ”

The rest of the people also rushed up, congratulating and joking, jubilant, causing the onlookers near the gate to also make a commotion, shouting at Pei Xiaoyuan.

Pei Xiaoyuan quietly avoided the fist smashed by Cheng Ping, said a few words to everyone, and smiled and thanked the surrounding people with a fist, and then rode through the street under the crowd, all the way to the palace gate by various onlookers and guidance from people on both sides of the street.

Today's official ceremony awaits here. Pei Xiaoyuan dismounted and was introduced into the palace by the general secretary, but he couldn't go to greet the princess immediately, so he came to the East Pavilion of the Xuanzheng Palace first, and was officially awarded the title of Captain of the Horse. Hundreds of envoys and officials have gathered here. Fu Baolang sent the book and the treasure seal and placed it on the case. Pei Xiaoyuan cooperated with the etiquette, like a marionette, under the praise of the ceremonial official, bowed again and again, and finally knelt on the ground, raised his arms, took the book and the treasure seal, and finally, bowed again and thanked him.

After this lengthy salute, he was finally officially given the title of Lieutenant of the Horse, and it was already dusk. In the heavier twilight, countless palace lamps and court fires lit one after another, and the firelight was like a long dragon, endlessly, reflecting the inside and outside of the palace as bright as day.

After a little rest and tidying up, the bell rang in the palace, announcing that the auspicious time had arrived.

Pei Xiaoyuan was led to the Taiji Hall of the Wedding Palace. The women of the Inner Palace, led by the eldest princess, the crown princess, and the ladies of King Ning's mansion, and Shangyi, the female official of the palace who participated in today's wedding, have all gathered. The women were dressed according to their own tastes, full of gold and emerald, and gathered in a royal hall under the steps of the palace outside the palace, waiting for the princess's honor guard to come out and participate in the send-off.

The princess is in the inner hall at the moment, bowing and receiving discipline, and the horse is not allowed to enter for the time being, and she can not receive people until the bell rings and the official comes to announce it.

According to the current wedding customs, the bride's wife will never ask the groom to take the bride easily, and it is necessary to stop and tease, the higher the door, the bigger the battle, and the sticks are common. In addition to adding to the festive atmosphere, it is also to make the groom teach the woman's family to be powerful, so that he will not dare to despise the bride in the future.

Although today is a wedding in the palace, it is not exempt from vulgarity. The ladies saw that Pei was attracted by a group of ceremonial officials, stopped at the bottom of the palace steps, stood in a dignified posture, did not squint, and even gave birth to teasing, making eye contact with each other, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, they all smiled and surrounded him, competing to make fun of him.

Some asked him to make a hypnotic poem on the spot. He asked someone to bring a liter of rice that had been prepared in advance, and sprinkled a few red beans in it, so that his eyesight should be tested and picked out on the spot, otherwise he would have to drink strong water. There is even one who is usually spicy, and orders the healthy women to take clubs and stop the horses, unless he himself strikes them.

These noble ladies and the healthy women they brought with them were not the same as the men outside. Even if you list the stick array, you can't touch it with a finger, and maybe you will really be stopped and you won't be able to enter.

Chengping is the head of the concubine today, and his most important duty is to help the concubine pick up the princess smoothly. He heard the sound of a bell coming from the inner sanctum, and the celebrant came out and shouted loudly to go to the upper hall.

The princess was about to come out, but Pei Xiaoyuan was still surrounded by the women outside the palace gate, only to see that he was in a hurry, dealing with this, and that, how could he get out of the way for a while?
